JAX-RPC, Service-Oriented Architecture, Transaction Management

JAX-RPC

JAX-RPC facilitates the invocation of remote procedures, using XML as the data format and SOAP
as the data protocol. JAX-RPC provides a Java API for developers to invoke remote procedure calls,
by abstracting and hiding the low-level SOAP semantics associated with RPC from applications. This
chapter looks at the JAX-RPC Service Model, Data Types and Serialization, JAX-RPC Development,
Attachments, and Interoperability.

Transaction Management

The Transaction Management chapter introduces you to the fundamental concepts behind
transactions and explains how transactions are managed within current Java/J2EE platforms. It looks
at the challenges of using existing transaction models for Web services, explains newly proposed
models and standards for Web service transactions, and details proposed implementations of these
new models on the Java platform.
